Rejuvenation, Longevity and the Balance of The Three Energetic Forces of Nature (Three Doshas).

Rejuvenation, Longevity and the Balance of the three energetic forces of nature (Three Doshas).

Manage/Cure Chronic Health Issues By Balancing Three Dosha : Ayurveda Therapy can be a helpful support in the treatment of chronic and degenerative diseases of all types.

Recognizing that human beings are part of nature, Ayurveda describes three fundamental energies that govern our inner and outer environments: movement, transformation, and structure. Ayurveda reminds us that health is the balanced and dynamic integration between our environment, body, mind, and spirit.

Vata (Wind), Pitta (Fire), and Kapha (Earth), these primary forces are responsible for the characteristics of our mind and body.

The three doshas have their respective sites of accumulation in the body where they breed disease and from which they spread to the rest of the body, damaging its various tissues and organs. Ayurveda works to prevent the doshas from accumulating at these three locations, and also to remove them from the body from these three sites as well.

Kapha and the Stomach
Kapha’s main site of accumulation is in the stomach, from which as mucus it overflows into the plasma, lymphatic system, lungs, chest, heart, head, and body as a whole, causing various Kapha diseases. Such conditions include nausea, frequent or chronic colds and flu, allergies, edema, asthma, diabetes and heart disease. Preventing Kapha from accumulating in the stomach inhibits the disease process and reduces premature aging.This dosha hydrates all cells and systems, lubricates the joints, moisturizes the skin, maintains immunity, and protects the tissues. When out of balance, kappa triggers greed, and possessiveness and can also create stubbornness, lethargy, and resistance to change. Physically, kapha tends to invite stagnation and congestion in organs and tissues throughout the body—including the mind. When kapha is out of balance, the heavy emotions of depression and lethargy result. Kapha individuals are prone to gaining weight and tend to have weaknesses in their lungs and sinuses where there is an accumulation of mucous. The diseases common to kaphic constitution are: coughs, excess mucus, bronchitis, rheumatic fever, aching joints, sinsuitis, nasal congestion, body wastes, lethargy and sloth.

In order to balance the kapha dosha: exercise daily, reduce fatty foods, eliminate iced drinks and foods and excessive amounts of bread and pastries. Also, eat warm, light and dry foods and have a lot of variety in the menus with vegetables, peppers, ginger, garlic, and turmeric. Keep salt consumption low. Most seeds and all nuts should be eliminated from the diet. Popcorn with no fat or salt is excellent.

Kapha governs all structure and lubrication in the mind and body. It controls weight, growth, lubrication for the joints and lungs, and formation of all the seven tissues - nutritive fluids, blood, fat, muscles, bones, marrow and reproductive tissues.

Kapha Governs

Tarpaka Kapha: Moisture for nose, mouth, eyes and brain.
Bhodaka Kapha: Sense of taste, which is essential for good digestion.
Kledaka Kapha: Moisture of the stomach lining for good digestion.
Avalambaka Kapha: Protects the heart, strong muscles, healthy lungs.
Shleshaka Kapha: Lubrication of the joints, soft and supple skin.

Pitta Dosha and the Small Intestine
Pitta’s main site of accumulation is the small intestine, from which as toxic heat or toxic blood it overflows into the blood, liver, heart, sweat glands and body as a whole, causing various Pitta diseases. Such conditions include hyperacidity, fever, bleeding disorders, skin diseases, liver diseases and hypertension. Preventing Pitta from accumulating in the small intestine inhibits the disease process and reduces premature aging.Pitta is closely related to intelligence, understanding, and the digestion of foods, thoughts, emotions, and experiences; it governs nutrition and metabolism, body temperature, and the light of understanding. When out of balance, pitta causes frustration, anger, jealously, and criticism. Imbalanced pitta is often at the root of inflammatory disorders, which can affect organs and tissues throughout the body. You might also see hives, rash, acne, eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis. As pitta accumulates further, it can cause nausea, vomiting, hiccups, acid reflux, heartburn, loose stools, diarrhea, low blood sugar, and sensitivity to spicy and/or fried foods. Long-standing in the digestive tract can cause severe acid indigestion or heartburn, fatty diarrhea, blood in the stools, inflammation of the stomach or esophagus, appendicitis, and peptic ulcers. Severe disturbance in the blood, skin, and sweat include visible capillary networks, severe bleeding disorders, hemorrhage, jaundice, hepatitis, abscess, gangrene, melanoma, lupus, gout, mononucleosis, blood clots, strokes, and myeloid leukaemia. 

Pitta governs all heat, metabolism and transformation in the mind and body. It controls how we digest foods, how we metabolize our sensory perceptions, and how we discriminate between right and wrong.

Pitta governs the important digestive (agni) or fires of the body.

Pitta Governs

Alochaka Pitta: Functioning of the eyes.
Bhrajaka Pitta: Healthy glow of the skin.
Sadhaka Pitta: Desire, drive, decisiveness, spirituality.
Pachaka Pitta: Digestion, assimilation, metabolism for healthy nutrients and tissues.
Ranjaka Pitta: Healthy, toxin-free blood.

Vata Dosha and the Large Intestine
Vata’s main site of accumulation is in the large intestine, particularly the colon, from which as dryness and toxic gas, it overflows into the bones, joints, nervous system, bladder and body as a whole, causing various Vata diseases. Such conditions are bloating, constipation, insomnia, arthritis, tremors, and nervous debility. Preventing Vata from accumulating in the large intestine inhibits the disease process and reduces premature raging. Vata governs all movement—the flow of the breath, the pulsation of the heart, all muscle contractions, tissue movements, cellular mobility—and communication throughout the mind and the nervous system. When out of balance, Vata tends to cause fear, anxiety, isolation, loneliness, and exhaustion. Their bodies tend to be light, their bones thin, and their skin and hair dry. They often move and speak quickly. When out of balance, they may lose weight, become constipated and have weakness in their immune and nervous systems.

Of these three factors of doshic accumulation, the accumulation of Vata dosha in the large intestine and its overflow into the deeper tissues is most detrimental toward health and longevity. It is most allied with the forces of gravity, entropy and decay. It is a common occurrence during old age, the Vata stage of life.

Vata dominates the fall season (Nov. to Feb.) and is also most prominent at 2:00AM to 6:00AM and 2:00PM to 6:00PM. during these times, it is not wise to do or ingest anything that may bring about an imbalance of the vata force. It is this time dominance that suggests that we rise from sleep each day before sunrise. Vata is also dominant in the old age period, that is, “life over fifty". Sure ways to imbalance vata are to worry, eat on the run, get too little sleep, eat dry, frozen or left-over foods, keep on the move or work at night.

Vata governs all movement in the mind and body. It controls blood flow, elimination of wastes, breathing and the movement of thoughts across the mind.

Since Pitta and Kapha cannot move without it, Vata is considered the leader of the three Ayurvedic Principles in the body. It's very important to keep Vata in good balance.

Vata Governs

Prana Vata: The senses, creative thinking, reasoning, enthusiasm, leader of all 15 categories of Vata, Pitta and Kapha.
Udana Vata: Quality of voice, memory, movements of thought.
Samana Vata: Movement of food through digestive tract.
Apana Vata: Elimination of wastes, sexual function, menstrual cycle.
Vyana Vata: Blood flow, heart rhythm, perspiration, sense of touch.

The doshas are a wonderful tool for understanding both, and also for recognizing and correcting any imbalances at work in our body systems. Invariably, the doshas shed light on our personal nuances, guide us in improving self-awareness, and can help us to understand how to offer support—precisely where and when it matters most. 

I would love to support you in beginning to befriend the doshas in your life. if you would like to assess your constitution, your current state of balance, and receive personalized recommendations based on both, please consider setting up your Ayurvedic Profile with ME.

According to the Ayurveda approach, doshas are energetic forces of nature and principles that help us to better understand ourselves and the world we live in.

Balance yourself according to your Doshas!

Ayurveda guides us on the proper use of our senses, ideal daily and seasonal routines, types of physical activity and dietary choices. It reminds us that our health is a balanced and dynamic totality between our environment, physical body, mind and soul. In short, the key to a healthy and happy life is to create harmony between our body, mind and environment.

Everything we perceive as a result of our five senses: what we eat, drink, see, hear, smell and touch, impact our doshas by creating emotions, thoughts and feelings.

Despite the fact that we all have all of these elements within us, for most of us, one or two of the types are more dominant and within our daily lives, there can always be an issue of balance and imbalance for every dosha.

By creating a daily routine, diet, lifestyle and using appropriate Ayurvedic Medicines, we can balance our natures and easily improve our physical, intellectual and emotional health.

By learning about your Dosha type, you can show care to our digestive system, which is our body’s second brain. Thus, we can prevent the formation of toxins and make dietary choices that will positively impact our entire health.

Ayurveda and Skin Health

According to Ayurveda, a number of factors determine skin health and youthfulness, and these include proper moisture balance (Kapha in balance), effective functioning of the metabolic mechanisms that coordinate all the various chemical and hormonal reactions of the skin (Pitta in balance), and efficient circulation of blood and nutrients to the different layers of the skin (Vata in balance). The health of the following three types of body tissue are especially reflected in the skin: nutritional fluid (Rasa), blood (Rakta) and muscle (Mamsa). To be effective, an antiaging application has to provide support to all of these areas.

Ayurveda provided me with the tools I needed to tap into the innate wisdom my body already contained. It showed me that the foods that work for me might not work for my friend, family member. We are constantly changing beings, and our diets and lifestyles need to change, too. A healthy digestion is the secret to a healthy mind, and as soon as I healed my gut, my entire world opened.

Dosha-Quiz During Consultation

Ayurvedic Body Type Quiz: Are you a Pitta, Vata, or Kapha Dosha?

Do you want to know more about yourself and your temperament?
Do you want to know when and what changes you should be making to get back into balance?

Take the body/mind Quiz and get more insight into the many issues you may be facing and how to move past them.

These questions are intended to assess your current life situation, including any recent stresses, illnesses, or life changes. It is most helpful if you answer these questions according to what has been true for you over the past few weeks and months. 

Dosha means elements. There are FIVE elements that everything in the world is made from- Ether, Air, Fire, Water and Earth. In Ayurveda we group elements together to only mention THREE- Ether/Air, Fire/Water, Earth/Water. These are called Vata, Pitta and Kapha.

Your body and mind’s health are determined by how balanced your elements are and how much they move around. The more balance of air, fire and earth you have the more health you will enjoy.

You do know that you should be checking in and taking the quiz every couple of weeks, so if the body is shifting excessively into one element or another that you can react by changing a habit to stay in health and avoid any oncoming ailments.

The basis of Ayurvedic philosophy is prevention. It is much harder to cure a disease than to stop it from developing. This is where the quiz can help you avoid many common ailments that will set into the body without you even knowing.

What's happening inside of you? You don't always know because you're not aware of it. The quiz is a nice way of checking in where you see, oh, this element or these elements are out of balance and this is what I can do about it. So here's a practice or here's a tool and here's a herb that I can drink, and suddenly you're back into balance. And what it does is it keeps you in check so you don't get too far out of balance. It brings you back in that normal range of imbalance because we keep moving in and out of balance.

Panchakarma..

Pancha karma literally means "five actions" and allows for detoxification, relaxation, rejuvenation and revitalization.

Each Ayurvedic treatment aims distortions with respect to Vata , Pitta and Kapha to lift. An illness (physical and mental) is always the result of an imbalance between the three dosha 's, which may be caused by themselves toxins (ama) nested in the tissues. If one wants to cause disease than really addressing these toxins must be removed or neutralised

Panchakarma as the most comprehensive purification of body and mind. Here the body is stimulated to release and discharge of waste at a cellular level. It is a very profound experience with an impact on all areas of life.

It consists of the following cleanings, which will be applied depending on the birth constitution and the current condition:
1. A cleaning colon ;
2. Cleaning small intestine;
3. Cleaning of the stomach;
4. Cleaning of the blood
